Abstract:

Every learner is its own project for self-fulfillment and happiness. The humanistic approach provides the foundations, core conditions and enabling requisites for the human person. This study investigated the frame of mind of its proponents, individual potentials and efforts to accomplishing them. Findings suggest that the humanistic movement have been applied diversely in various endeavors –personality development, religion, therapy and in the global village where the various means of communication is easily linking individuals, communities and  activities together in more profound ways. However, the approach is being criticized as overly optimistic.

Dr. Inweregbu, Jude O.(2011) Testing for validity and Reliability of Approaches and study skill Inventory for Student with sample from Nigeria. Published in the:

International Journal of Interdisciplinary Social Sciences. Vol. 3: No. 1: Jan. 2011: Pg 1-27

Abstract:

This study is focused on the utility of Approaches and study skills inventory for students (ASSIST) instrument on University students in Nigeria. Previously, there is no known study that has applied the instrument to the current population. Hence there is the need to investigation the validity and reliability of ASSIST for the said target population. The statistical procedure of Factor Analysis to check on factor loadings was applied. Further, the dimensionalities of each item of the instrument were investigated. Findings indicated internal consistent reliability indices that mirrored closely to that of the original instrument. This result showed that the ASSIST instrument could be a stable instrument with slight adjustment to one of the subscales in studying student’s approaches to learning in tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

Journal of Educational Psychology (2011)

Abstract

In this study, 10 out of 13 subscales of the Thinking Style Inventory were slated for this investigation. These modified thinking styles inventory were tested for stability properties of validity and reliability with Nigerian University students. When each of the selected 10 subscales was factor analyzed 7 of them resulted in a single factor which is described as uni-dimensional. However, 3 subscales resulted in two or more factors. Further analyses showed that when some items in certain subscales were eliminated and there were increase in the internal consistency reliability. This result indicated that some items in the subscales were not in congruent with the study population. Over all the internal consistencies of the subscales mirrored closely with the original inventory.
